Description Active health care is a part of balanced life style, which is a prerequisite of well-being, personal and social self-fulfillment. Responsible lifestyle in pursuit of health reflects attitude towards the environment. Following previous studies devoted to the description of pattern of thinking on environmental issues in teachers and student teachers, we now present results of an investigation focusing on students perception of health in the context of environmental issues. With regard to the significant role of the teacher we examined attitudes of respondents towards protection of the environment, the form of participation in its protection, ways of decision making and conduct corresponding with active health care in life situation. The results of the investigation will contribute to the development of the system of teacher training which will correspod with the concept of health support and sustainable development.
